Sustained Investigation Art-Making Requirements:
15 Images/Screens
Some images will be of only a single completed work
Some images will be cropped together onto one screen to show Practice, Experimentation, and Revision
ALL Images should connect to selected inquiry (guiding question/theme) of choice.
Sustained Investigation Written Requirements:
For ALL witting you should address a multitude of AP Rubric Vocabulary terms!
Answered once per every image/slide:
Materials (100 Characters) -
Process (100 Characters) - Steps explained but more importantly the WHY behind the process decisions. I.e. Painted sky gray… to express melancholy mood of portrait.
Citations (100 Characters) - Resources, Artist Research, Image References etc.
Answered once per entire SI:
Inquiry Part 1 (600 Characters) - THE WHY; do not list images and explain the process in them. Should be an overview of the essential questions.
Inquiry Part 2 (600 Characters) - Describe how your sustained investigation shows evidence of practice, experimentation, and revision guided by your questions.

Process slide vs Finished Artwork Slide
A finished artwork slide will document ONLY the finished work in a high quality photo. We are aiming to have 13-15 of these finished artworks.
A Process slide will document the steps taken to achieve a finished project. It may focus on practice, experimentation, revision or all three. It should NOT simply show the steps taken to arrive at the final image. Process Slide, may be a misleading title in that regard. Process slides should tell the AP Scorer something they otherwise wouldn't know from simply looking at the work (the behind the scenes).
See the examples below - These slides are why it is SO IMPORTANT we document as we work.
